Wav2Lip is a deep learning lip sync model and neural talking head framework designed to synchronize the lip movements in a video to match a provided audio file. It functions as a computer vision lip synchronizer and speech-to-lip generator that maps speech patterns to visual mouth movements to produce realistic talking head videos.
The system utilizes a framework for training and evaluating models that align audio and video frames. This includes the ability to train lip-sync models and visual discriminators using speech-to-lip datasets and evaluating the resulting synchronization accuracy through specific benchmarks and metrics.
